Victor Wanyama was unsettled in the final week of August when Spurs tried their little tricks to try and lure him to North London, but now the Kenyan is focused on only one thing.
Victor Wanyama now insists that his only focus is Saints and that he has put the shennanigans of August behind him, speaking to the Daily Echo he said.
"I just don’t want to remember that situation,” .
"I’m happy to go in the pitch and forget what happened, so I’m really looking forward to putting good performances for Southampton.”
"Yes, sure, now I’ve forgotten what happened, I’m now progressing on my club and it’s been good, so I’m looking forward to putting in good performances.”
Fine words from the Kenyan who has backed them up with several good displays since returning to the team and certainly the supporters have been quick to forgive him, even though the timing of his "issues" that rendered him mentally unfit to play, certainly did not help Saints chances of winning through to the group stages of the Europa League.
One way that Wanyama could help make amends for that is to sign a new contract for the club, with nearly two years left on his current deal Saints are in no rush to sell and signing a new contract would not really affect whether Saints would or would not sell him in that period, but it would give him a substantial pay rise.
If Wanyama did sign it would be the final piece in the jigsaw for the supporters to truly forgive him completely, not to mention it would help show the club who are hovering again on some of our squad that Saints are a lot stronger as a club than they were when Liverpool ravaged us in the summer of 2014 and that our players can follow the lead of Morgan Schneiderlin who proved that a good grounding at St Mary's and being patient can often result in a better move than taking the first tin pot offer that comes along.
